ALLIGATORS AS PETS???????

Today I wasn't feeling good so I didn't do my regular routine which would be going out in the ministry door to door. Instead I stayed home and decided to write some letters and go for a walk with my husband. While we were walking we seen a man looking in the canal near our home. My husband says that's what I wanted to do look at the fish. Then the man was taking pictures so I saw my chance to go talk to him. I said isn't it beautiful out here and he turned to me and said what the ALLIGATOR. There it was a live big alligator starring at me from the canal. The man said he was sitting on the grass earlier basking in the sun. Amazing this is the first time in over 25 years that I live here in Florida that I've ever seen a gator right by my house, I've heard about it on the news our children were trained to run from them in school, but this was the first time ever i have been face to face with this very strong creature. Exciting and scary all the same time. Got home and it reminded me of the scripture at Isaiah 65:25 which says " the wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull, and as for the serpent his food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain, Jehovah has said." That will be a great time when we could enjoy all the animals our great God created and never have to fear because we will all get along. Just imagine playing with a tiger in your yard that sounds awesome and am so looking foward to it.

OH MY ACHING STOMACH

I am so sick of feeling horrible. Anyone lactose intolerant? I'm sure you understand. It seems just when I get a handle on it it happens again. I eat something that has dairy. Do I forget or am I just dumb? I don't know, but ohhhh does my stomach kill me. It's amazing cause it happens within a half hour. The cramps then the gas and it stays till the next day. This week I went on a taste test to earn my 25.00 dollars which in fact is a great way to earn that little extra when you need it. It was a chicken cordon bleu sandwich. Ok I knew it had cheese so I took a lactaid pill before I ate it and don't you know all I ate was a few bites and I still got sick from the cheese and it was bad not the sandwich the cheese was a killer. Oh well maybe someday I'll learn from my mistakes. So anyway I'm including this site that explains what lactose intolerant is and the symptoms. When I read it I realized how I got it. I had cancer 6 years ago and of course  had chemo and that's one of the ways you get it.

PRISTIQ WITHDRAWLS

I have been on pristiq since 2010. That's it I had enough. So I have been weaning myself off this poison. Definitely not easy I have been tapering a little at a time and now i am down to the end. Hooray I hope it's done. I have been going through stomach problems light headedness and nausea  and my husband says I'm grouchy and snappy I don't see it. lol I think it's getting better though it has been four days since i last taken it. oh yeah I am getting crazy hot flashes and the sweats real bad. I have noticed that I can cry again.
      Doctors love putting you on meds, I hate meds  They put me on it cause they said I was depressed because I could not express the pain I was dealing with while I was working it was causing me extreme stress and maybe I was depressed cause that does go along with my illnesses but I feel now that I'm not working anymore I don't think I need to be medicated like this. Pristiq takes your normal life style away i noticed I was sitting on the couch resting more and more not having the energy to do things around the house and also took my emotions away and no libido but I am looking foward to getting over this hump and back to feeling good.

    I don't know if it's coming off the pristiq that is causing the extra pain from fibro like achy muscles in my legs and my neck and so forth i could go on and on. Anyway I'll keep you posted.
